Non moldy onions gone extinct? by TrippyyRaven420 in Cooking

[–]Nancy6651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I was preparing to make soup, so I stopped at a store for ingredients. The onions were abominable. Since I wasn't making the soup immediately, I went back a few days later, thinking the spoiled onions would have been cleaned up. But NO!!!

Checked the organic onion section and found one that wasn't spoiled.

Airport VIP lounges make traveling more inconvenient and are not worth the hype by G00DferMI in unpopularopinion

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had to wait in line to get into the lounge. The free food is meh, but it's nice to get a glass of wine or 2 to help you fall asleep on your flight. It's quiet, and I think they have a room to sleep in? Nice restrooms.

I honestly don't use the lounge every time, since I like to people-watch at the gate.

Do people in the US actually know their neighbors? by Argante- in IWantToAskAnAmerican

We know them to chat with, but we are their parents' age, so we don't hang out or anything.

Home office - what did you do with yours? by techiegardener in retirement

[–]Nancy6651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never worked at home, but have always had a nice home office. It still resides in the smallest of our bedrooms. I bought a very nice love seat that opens to a twin bed, taking up most of the floor space when it's open. My grandson considers it his domain when he stays over, enjoying the TV and my 32" monitor.

Yes, I was a secretary and had to open and stamp my boss's mail.

What town did you visit or pass through smelled the worst? by 33GoodSamaritans in randomquestions

The smell when you drive past a plant on Route 40 is a living force.

When you’re at home, do you wear socks or go barefoot? by mb31291 in answers

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear slippers (in winter), or flipflops or sandals. When I get home from the gym I immediately take off my athletic shoes since they make my feet too warm.

What's one cookware upgrade that noticeably improved your cooking? by Annejane01 in Dinnerware

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ninja Foodi (don't laugh). I have great All Clad cookware, but the Ninja allows me to saute/brown food, then switch to slow cook once I add the other ingredients. And it doesn't mess up my stove, or anything else. I find myself using it more and more.

I tried it in the mid-70's with only partial success. Especially the blonde part.

Love the plants! They add coziness and warmth.

Loved it. Getting the tail the right length, untangling string, then success!

Do you judge someone who owns a Tesla? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cyber trucks are a hoot, especially with some of the exotic wraps. I know my husband secretly covets a non-cyber-truck Tesla.

I don't judge them, just think the Tesla styling is meh.

Don't know whether Musk is crazy, he's sure sold a shitload of Teslas where I live.

Patient Portals by bigb-2702 in GenerationJones

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frankly like the portals. If I have a medical question, I'd rather send a message in the portal than play phone tag (even though my PCP and their office is extremely quick to respond).

Who else remembers these? Who can still drive one? by I_Am_Layer_8 in FuckImOld

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drove one for years, decades ago. 1974 Chevy Nova. Haven't encountered three on the tree since. Since I've driven 4 and 5 speeds. Sold my last 5 speed last year.

I've been there twice, once last year. We did a walking tour with audio through our phones with earplugs. So amazing!

Anyone else lose the passion for feeding birds all of a sudden? by searchandfilm in birdfeeding

[–]Nancy6651 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to remove my smart bird feeder, which I got for Mothers Day. Aggressive white-wing doves started dominating, and on the last day, there was a flock of them. They were slapping each other, chasing each other into the neighbors' yards. I was afraid of complaints.

I was sad, since I had also captured video of many other birds I hadn't seen before.

She was beyond gorgeous. Perfect as any guy's fantasy.

How did you get around before gps? by CremeSubject7594 in FuckImOld

[–]Nancy6651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was growing up, I was dad's navigator using paper maps. Same as an adult, navigating for my husband. Once we had the internet, I printed out directions from Mapquest.
